If I say, ‘Sugar’, ‘Sugar’, I cannot get sugar. If I say ‘Ram, Ram’, I cannot get God.

You will have to earn money for purchasing sugar. Then you will have to go to the
bazaar to purchase sugar. Here also, you will have to get rid of lust, anger, greed, delusion, pride,
jealousy and egoism and then repeat ‘Ram, Ram’ with Bhav (feeling) and single-minded
devotion. Then you will have Darshan of Lord Rama. But, Rama is within. Sugar is outside.
You will have to give your whole heart to Rama.
